15 Casts: Area Fishing, Hawkins Tournament Winners

Note from Nate: This Bonehead bait went all out at the lake Hawkins Saturday night working man tournament. Weighing in 14.12lbs pound sack that took first. Had a 5,4,3,2,1.5 for oral of 15.5 but after 2 dead fish brought the weight down to 14.12. But like we say bonehead, any lake, any day.

Big Bass pot was won. Nate Dean sends his report, with photo! First Place Nate and Jason Dean 14.12 lbs and a big bass was caught at 5.08 lbs. It was the evening of big bass bring ins. Darren and Garrett weighed in at 5.08 also, and Jeff and Louie weighed in at 5.06, too bad for Nate and Jason that their fish died so they were deducted.4 which brought their score down, therefor Darren and Garrett won the $350 pot.
